There are many persons that still harbor the thoughts of
life not being fair because they have not had life in her golden slippers or
their life have not been on the proverbial golden platter.
The dream is, if I could change my situation or circumstances, then I will be happy and my life will be like the ending of fairy tales and they lived happily afterwards.
The truth is that most persons were prepared for life by their parents. Some
parents never say no to a request from a child and some children learn early
never to make a request from their parents. Even when children exceed the achievements of their parent the children were taught to reason by the parents.
It is common for the affluent to be envied by the not so
affluent and for the not so affluent to envy the lifestyle of the affluent. It
is even thought that affluent persons live lives that are stress free. Some wealthy
parents are at present faced with the option of what to do for their children.
One option is to set up trust fund to ensure that their children never runs out of
money. Another option is to force their children to go out and create their own
wealth. Many parents recognize that children often do not build on the wealth that they inherit.
In our present world the majority of people fall into the
category of middle class lower class or poor. The poor is the group that is bound
by the chains that say you will never be great or be able to change your circumstances. This group is taught that their
life’s greatest aspiration is to reach a point of being comfortable.
There is told the stories of animals that are captured when
young and pain is inflected to these animals during training to the point where
pain is associated with disobedience. There are many parents that grow their
children use similar methods. This inhibits the children in their willingness
to explore, take risks and take on new ventures. Parents pass on how they were grown to their children.
At present we are living in a world where through the
internet the world have become a global community. We get things done and
communicate in real time but there are too many person who are not yet coming
to grip with the present reality. The internet came into existence when some were already out of school and some are yet to grasp the possibility that are being presented through the internet.
The time is ripe for us to begin thinking big. Our world will not be
problem free or stress free. If our aspirations are small there will be
stresses and problems. If we change our places of residences, our spouses,
our jobs or whatever we will still be subjected to stress. The thing to do then
is to set our sights on the greatest of our dreams. We will have stresses so
why be bother be stressed over the little things. Since we will have problems and be
stressed in life then it may as well be over something great, noble and worth achieving.
There are too many person who have been coerced into
maintaining the standards of being mediocre. There are too much abilities waiting
to released but have been trapped into being mediocre. There are too many
persons that have been punished for having a desire to succeed. There are too
many persons that believe that there is no way to move up. It is time for all this to change but it is the individual person who have to change their mindset.
The great thing in life is that there are more possibilities
and avenues available than before. There are now endless means to get
discovered and for many it will only takes the effort of beginning pursuing that little thought, idea or secret dream.
There are many of us that life will not hand much but every
one of us is subjected to inspiration, that desire to be creative. Every one of
us have a vision of what we would like to do, be or to become. It will remain
impossible as long as we refuse to try or make the effort to do something.
One of the great things about life is that none of us knows
the extent of our potential. It is only after we have begun and other resources
are needed that our potential will release what is needed. If we never try we
will never know.
